  • Apple, other tech companies decry North Carolina anti-LGBT law

    mytdavemytdave
    It's not an "anti-LGBT" law, it's a pro-liberty and pro-religious liberty law.  The NC legislature and governor did good.

    As for the elephant in the room: If you have a Y chromosome you're a man, damnit, and you have no business using the same restroom that my wife and daughter use!

  • Black Lives Matter activists say FBI fight to break iPhone encryption threatens civil liberties

    Oh, great. Nice to know the race baiting grievance industry is on Apple's side of this issue.

  • US AG Lynch says FBI not asking Apple to break into iPhone, simply disable 'password blocker'

    mytdavemytdave
    Seriously?  Are people really this stupid?  Disabling the "password blocker" (lol) essentially makes it possible for any iPhone to be cracked.  The damn inmates are running the asylum.

    You young people pay attention and take note: This is the fruit of the seeds of progressivism.

  • San Bernardino's top cop says it's likely 'there is nothing of any value' on iPhone the FBI wants A

    Well, it's Obama's Justice Department/FBI, and Hillary's openly running for Obama's third term --- actually GW Bush's fifth term, when it comes to the privacy issue (the W standing for Warrantless Wiretapping) --- and, naturally, all of the republican candidates are on board with the continuing War on Privacy.

    So does anyone know who I'm supposed to vote for in November if I'm AGAINST the ongoing War on Privacy?

    This will be (yet again) an election between bad choices. You vote for the "least bad", but really the popular vote is meaningless. It is delegates who choose the president in the Electoral College.
    Actually, the *only* candidate that is a constituionalist is Ted Cruz, and he is the only one who didn't say to let the FBI have it's way - he said Apple should work with the FBI to come to a resolution and to have a larger discussion about technology and privacy, which will have to take place in congress...  If you value the constitution of the United States, and all of your freedoms that it protects, then Ted is the only choice this time around.

    The Crazy Train just keeps chugging along.
    Something that needs to be clearly stated is that the "User" and the "owner" of the phone are one and the same according to Apple Terms of Service ---  San Bernadino County.  They owned the phone and gave it to an employee (the shooter) who signed a statement agreeing to use it only for work.  The FBI is not even asking for access to the phone.  They only want Apple to force a backup because they already have access to the cloud backups.  Apple can do this by simply pushing a phone-specific update to the OS that forces an immediate and full backup.  No back door, no one's privacy rights endangered.  But Tim Cook sees this as a form of free advertising.  The fact is that Apple has a long history of illegal activities.
    What have you been smoking?
    1. How do you know if Apple can push a phone specific update?  I'm not so sure.  Even if they could, the TECHNIQUE could then be used on ANY phone.
    2. Everyone's privacy becomes endangered.  It's blatantly obvious.
    3. It's not about advertising.  The FBI went public first, Apple had no choice but to respond.
    4. Apple does NOT have a history of illegal activities, quite the opposite.  If you want illegal you should be looking at Shamesung and Mickeysoft.
    5. Finally, the FBI isn't asking for a forced iCloud backup, they are asking for a security bypass to allow them to brute-force attack the passcode.
